Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

VERSE
Dm
Before the phone hits the receiver
C/D
You're halfway to the door
Bb/D
The voice said 'get out while you can,
Gm C
There's just ten minutes, nothing more'
Dm
Time for only the essentials
C/D
Better gather them and run
Bb/D
The false name inside the passport,
Gm C
The gold bars and the gun
BRIDGE
Gm7 Am7
And once again they've come out of the past
Bb C
And though your mind is cool your heart is beating fast
A/C#
You've been through it all before
Dm Bdim A/C#
Each time you wish a little more that you could ask
CHORUS
Dm C/D
What do you want from me?
C/D Bbmaj7
What do you need from me?

There's no rest for the running man

Why can't you let him be?

VERSE
Dm
It's a long and twisting journey
C/D
From the sweeping northern plains
Bb/D
To the outcrops of the jungle
Gm C
Bowed beneath the tropic rains
Dm
In the customs hall the officer
C/D
Takes you to one side
Bb/D
And his eyes reveal no feeling
Gm C
As you hand over the bribe
BRIDGE
Gm7 Am7
And once again you've bought a little time
Bb C
And once again you're fading out of sight
A/C#
Still the fox is growing older
Dm Bdim A/C#
As he calls over his shoulder to the night:
CHORUS

VERSE
Dm
One by one they've nailed the others
C/D
But you always got away
Bb/D
What it is that keeps you just that step ahead
Gm C
No one can say
Dm
In one last raid the agents
C/D
Of the dawn break down the door
Bb/D
Of a house where you were standing
Gm C
Maybe just an hour before
BRIDGE
Gm7 Am7
And still the thread continues to unwind
Bb C
You take the hidden roads that only you can find

And should they come upon your tracks
Dm Bdim A/C#
There's just a question hanging back you left behind
CHORUS
